Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.3-3.1 Severity: normal Hi,
I have switched my system to a multiarch setup, and aptitude seems to have severe problems with packages that are no longer available from any source, have been deinstalled but have configuration files left. Any command, including "update" ponders for several minutes, then aborts with .../../src/generic/apt/aptitude_resolver_universe.h:196: static aptitude_resolver_version aptitude_resolver_version::make_install(const pkgCache::Version*, pkgDepCache*): Assertion "ver != __null" failed. Purging all obsolete packages rectifies the situation.
